215.25 Miles of hangover

mmmmm.... delicious steamed hams...

John STYLED US OUT by bringing an army of burgers, buns, chips and all the fixin's. All neatly packed into his cooler, and biked over on his boat trailer. Yes. BOAT TRAILER. A new King of Pedal and Paddle? We shall see in August... Oh, and he manned the grill all night!

Thank you everyone who came out to ride. I have 861 laps recorded, and know for a fact that that's not all of them. Like the title says I figured it to be 215.25 miles. People donated cash to boot! $90 total. I've got to brag on Josh a little about the donations, $40 of that came straight from him. Thanks, Josh, I hate the cancer too. I never made my promised 100 laps. The weight of being a host and keeping pace with the drinking limited my time in the saddle. I did make 70 laps, and quit counting for a while there, so I still feel good about my lap contribution. I said I would have prizes for people with over 50 laps, and I do, I just forgot on Friday. So, Brady Calahan, Josh F., David (sorry, your last name eludes me), and Steve (of the Kuna crew, right?) all had over 50, and so there is a prize for each of you. I will leave the Winco bag of goodies just behind the fence next to the cooler full of Hamms. Drop by and snag one when you're in the neighborhood. (I expect you to take down a Hamms or two as well... More bragging on Josh, he made the most laps, 114. Ryan King was next with 105, then Brady with 80, then the rest of us. Great riding with all of you! Thanks again. The next ride coming up is Dirty and Pink all ladies race on June 6. Then the Red Hot Riot (at the VAC this year) on July 11 (tentatively). One more thing: I have Ryan's water bottle it is washed, filled and set in the cooler along with the Hamms. Come get it when you can.

UPDATE: Saturday we had some late-comers for the ride. Sean Donovan, Kim, Dorian & Stacy all showed up ready to play. Hamms all around and a huge donation to the LAF, $47!! Hells Yeah! Our grand total to send off to the Foundation stands at $137, nice. Thanks again! The prizes are still out there, slightly protected from the rain. Come collect!
